Dahlia variabilis Certified Organic 'Bishop’s Children Dahlias’ (Dahlia variabilis) are seed grown dahlias. They are octoploids, meaning they have four times as many chromosomes as most other flowers, so the seeds produce a spectacular diversity of architectural leaves and blooms in a myriad of forms and warm colors. Part of the joy in planting the Bishop's Children is that if you find one you love, you simply harvest and store the tubers to plant next year. Congrats: you are a plant breeder! Each year, the Hudson Valley Seed Company commissions contemporary artists from around the U.S. to tell the story of a particular seed variety, a unique way to celebrate seeds' diverse stories before you enjoy the harvest! · Art Pack, 50 certified organic seeds · Start early and Transplant when seedlings are 3 to 4 inches into soil amended with plenty of compost · Full sun · 48 inches a">
